Review of polling districts and polling places in Coventry

The Council is conducting a review of its polling districts and polling places as required by the Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places (Parliamentary Elections) Regulations 2006.

The review is an ideal opportunity for electors / community groups / any interested persons within Coventry to express their opinions on the existing polling district boundaries and polling places, and where possible suggest alternative solutions to be considered.

The Electoral Arrangements Advisory Panel, which is made up of Ward Councillors, will meet to discuss any recommendation made.

As part of the review process, the authority must:

• seek to ensure that all electors in the constituency have such reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances
  
• seek to ensure that so far as is reasonable and practicable the polling places are accessible to those who are disabled
  
• when considering or reviewing the designation of a polling place, have regard to the accessibility needs of disabled persons.

The Electoral Arrangements Advisory Panel will consider all the appropriate representations and they will draft the final polling district and polling place recommendations within Coventry, these recommendations will be made available for public inspection.

If you wish to comment on the existing arrangements or suggest any alternative solutions please contact the Elections Office, by Post or e-mail at: Electoral Services, The Council House, Earl Street, Coventry, CV1 5RR or Electoral.Services@coventry.gov.uk
